Tapping into Sewer water? Texas drought solution might be in the toilet

General Discussion

Climate change is going to force a lot of people to deal with some uncomfortable shit.

That’s not a pun, that’s just the truth.

Also, drinking recycled water isn’t the stuff I’m talking about necessarily. I also mean having to live in more concentrate areas, sometimes having to move away from areas that are in danger because of climate change. Also, people will have to get more accustomed to having outsiders come to live in their territories.

We gotta drop all this rich v. poor, native vs. immigrant shit or else we’ll end up in some shity Elysium universe. :tup:

I honestly don’t understand why the concept of recycled water freaks people out.

Matter is neither created or destroyed, meaning every atom in your body is billions of years old and has been all kinds of things in its history. And most likely, every atom in your body or in your environment at one point in time or another has been comprised of shit, piss, blood, pubic hair, genital parts, etc.

So the next time you’re checking out a hot girl just remember that there was a time when all those parts could’ve been some baboon’s ass.

Because there was poop in it.

Scene: La Petit Toilette, an upscale dining venue, era 2038 AD

Dramatis personæ:
Maitre’d - Maitre’d of the restaurant and veteran solder of the Garden Wars, injured but healing nicely thanks to experimental Vascular Expansion therapy.
Miss Velda Qwdari - War widow and heiress of the McDowell’s Garbage Collection Services fortune. Currently single, but looking for a suitable mate, preferably a mutant with desirable mutations to pass on to the inevitable progeny, sterility not a concern since money can purchase nano-testostero injections.
John Billingsly - Her escort, a wealthy radium-sales magnate. Silent, of course, due to the Vocalizations Against Women Act of 2026.

Maitre’d: Welcome to La Petit Toilette, may I have your reser… (recognizing the woman) Ah, miss Qwdari, where are my manners?

Miss Qwdari: (nods indignantly, obviously perturbed by the maitre’d’s error. John Billingsly also nods, but he is smiling a smile of contempt at the man for having insulted his date.)

Maitre’d: Enchante mademoiselle, for our spécial pour nuit we have braised Rottweiler haunch with a lavender cream sauce. These canines were street-raised fighting dogs discovered in the old upscale district just after it became a run-down ghetto but before the nuke strike. So the meat preserves it’s exquisite pureblood taste, while, since they are fighting dogs, the metal shavings lend an irony flavor to the meat that complements the lavender blossoms quite well.

To complement it, we have also water derived from the preserved sewer scrapings of pre-war upper society, ran thorough micro filtration units .0000001 micrometers wide so as to filter out all the dysentery, cholera and type-VII hepatitis, but still preserving the delicate taste of A-tier solid waste discards.

I’m sure you’ll find your experience tonight to be exquisite. Now if you would don your garbage bags and Geiger meters, please.

Ms Q.: Oh, I brought my own. Recycled it from the waste bins near Laurelton Gardens not a week ago.

John B.: (nods and smiles, obviously contemplating how unimaginably brilliant his senior citizen date is)

Maitre: Oh, how splendid! I see we’ve a member of the Retrivist’s Society dining with us tonight. This way, M’lady, I shall assign you our best seat.

:rofl: :tup:

Well, you know… when there are shitty threads about shit, there are probably going to be shitty jokes about shit. I made a previous shitty shit joke about a previous shitty thread about shit, and you felt the need to point that out for some reason. The John Stewart gif was my way of saying I don’t give a shit.

i stand corrected on this place being in the desert. i misplaced it being north of dallas for being in the desert, when thats more north west. my geography was no goods. i still stand by what i said outside of comments towards this place.

back to shit jokes. :slight_smile:

The not hot women sometimes got the baboon ass

Well, actually the baboon has a red slapped up one to entice mates or whatever, so that baboon actually makes the most of what he has

Eau de toilette or Woaheww da toilet?!

Lost me here B).

Yeah, I’m pretty sure the ocean temperatures are going up by two degrees every few years.:

And yeah, that has an effect on phytoplankton production:

Which in turn lowers the amount of oxygen in the oceans and provides less food for the species that feed exclusively on microorganism. Hint: there’s a lot of them.

Please tell me you’re not one of those people who think climate change simply refers to when it’s unusually cold or warm outside. :mad:

32

That’s not climate change…that’s simple math and time: more people, fewer resources + 50 or so years = problem.

33

@Manx I’m one of the people that thinks it’s the way of the world, more than it is our effect on it. My reply was speaking to that. “Climate change” is a replacement term for global warming.

34

Cool. That’s fine if that’s how you think of it. But contributing to it probably isn’t a very good idea.
'Lectric cars for ere’body! :party:

:tup:

Oh word. It’s not like I think it’s any reason to be reckless or irresponsible about the environment. It’d be folly to think our pollution and over consumption have no impact on the planet.

On topic, though: Yuck.
